Level 10
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
After arriving at the table, three players had all of their chips in the middle preflop and none of them had a pair. Philip Sternheimer was the short stack with around 190,000, Aliaksei Boika was next in line at risk for 572,000, and Orpen Kisacikoglu had both players covered.
Philip Sternheimer: A♠8♦
Aliaksei Boika: A♦Q♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♣J♥
The flop came Q♥Q♣2♥ and Boika took a commanding lead with trip queens. The 9♠ on the turn gave Kisacikoglu a straight draw but the 3♣ bricked out on the river.
